Ramadan brings people together, turning schedules upside down. Ushna Shah and her husband Hamza Amin are celebrating in Karachi, inviting industry friends over for a special game night. It’s a tradition to gather before Suhoor for fun and bonding.
Stars like Iqra Aziz, Yasir Hussain, and Ali Rehman Khan joined the festivities. The event was a star-studded affair, filled with laughter and games.
Check out some snapshots below:
Junaid Khan, a versatile personality known for his tacting and singing, was invited as a guest in FHM Pakistan podcast with Adnan Faisal.
The host asked Junaid Khan if Mikaal Zulfiqar is his friend, to which Junaid responded, “Mikaal Zulfiqar is indeed my friend.” The host then asked why Mikaal thinks Junaid is not good looking. Junaid replied, “Mikaal thinks I’m not good looking? Well, that’s okay. Mikaal is a guy, and I’m a guy too. He shouldn’t have to find me good looking. It’s a good thing if no guy wants another guy to call him good looking. “
He said, “Everyone has their own perspective. It’s actually a good thing if he doesn’t think I’m good looking.” Then Junaid added, “But Mikaal is indeed a charming guy. Calling him a ‘pappu boy’ is not necessarily a compliment. It’s okay to praise him, but it’s not a big deal. He is a good looking boy; I don’t know in what gathering or mood he might have said that.”
Recently, Sunita Marshall and Hassan Ahmed talked about the difficulties that couples might have while managing their relationship in the entertainment industry. During an interview on ‘Life Green Hai,’ Hassan honestly shared that he had struggled with comparing his success to Sunita’s accomplishments at first.
Aijaz Aslam talked about how impressive it is for showbiz couples to stay together for over ten years. He said it’s especially true when actors get married and work together. Aijaz pointed out that insecurities can cause problems for married couples.
“Actually, to be honest,” said Hassan, “if two married actors say these things don’t affect them, they’re not telling the truth.” Then Sunita added, “But we’ve never argued about being in the same field, or not having time for each other, or if Hassan talks to someone I don’t like, and vice versa.”
Hassan kept talking, saying, “When Sunita started her career, she was already a top model. But I wasn’t even in the industry back then. When I joined, I thought I’d be a superstar too, but it doesn’t work like that. You have to work hard. Sometimes, jealousy and insecurity is born when one person works more than the other. I never let Sunita feel that way, but I felt it inside. That changed in the last few years.”
Sunita then said, “Being smart means knowing how to deal with such problems.” Hassan joked, “I wasn’t that smart, what can I say?” Sunita encouraged him, saying, “But you handled it really well.”
As Sunita and Hassan keep doing well on their own and as a couple, their fans in Pakistan love their story. They support each other a lot and are both really talented. This makes them a strong couple in the Pakistani entertainment world. In a world where people often judge success by awards and recognition, Sunita and Hassan show us that true happiness comes from inside and that love can overcome anything.
Nadia Khan, Shaista Lodhi, and Nida Yasir, who are famous for their work on morning shows, had a rare chat together on ‘Shan e Suhoor.’ They talked openly about their experiences in the morning show world, sharing both the good and tough parts of their careers.
As everyone laughed and remembered good times, Nadia Khan talked about something sad from her past. She remembered a scary time when she used to take phone calls on live TV. She told a story about a frightening moment that she still remembers and feels scared about.
A distressed caller, possibly grappling with depression, made a shocking demand – to meet Nadia in person, threatening harm to her child if refused. The gravity of the situation left Nadia reeling, underscoring the unpredictable nature of live television.
“It was a really weird call. Women with depression would call a lot. (The caller) said that I want to talk to you, meet you, I’m very depressed and if you won’t meet me, I’ll kill my baby.” This led the other two to gasp in shock. A wide-eyed Nadia remembered feeling scared for the child, even if she did decide to go meet the woman in question.
The conversation also brought up stories of drama behind the scenes with famous people, as Nida and Nadia shared exciting stories. Nida told a surprising story on the show when a caller, who said she was an actor’s sister, revealed that the actors who play a couple on screen are actually dating in real life. Meanwhile, Nadia remembered a stressful moment when the wife of a main actor called the show and accused him of cheating with a co-star. “I would get stuck,” revealed Nadia, holding her head.
Shaista, who is used to dealing with problems on set, talked about how she handles difficult celebrity guests. She explained that she has to manage situations like late-night parties and make sure the guests look good the next morning. She said, “Sometimes, guests are in such bad shape in the morning that they can’t go on TV.” She also added, “You have a show to do, but no guest.”
The get-together reminded everyone about the hidden details behind the scenes of morning TV, which are usually not noticed. Apart from the fancy stuff and fun, the hosts talked about how their job can be emotionally tough and stressful as they’re responsible for morning entertainment.
Pakistani actress Ayeza Khan has been given a special 10-year visa by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) making her part of an exclusive group of celebrities who’ve received the special recognition.
Officials from the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (ICA) presented the 33-year-old actress with the visa.
Ayeza thanked the Dubai government on Instagram for giving her the facilitation.
In her Instagram post, she said, “The memories I’ve made in Dubai, whether for vacation or work, are like no other experiences I’ve had around the world.”
She added, “Dubai always makes me feel like I belong, like I’m at home whenever I visit.”
“I want to thank the UAE government for giving me another reason to come back to this city often,” the actor concluded.
Indian media has reported that Indian National Congress party is thinking about pitting famous tennis player Sania Mirza against All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi from Hyderabad in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. The proposal came from former Indian cricket captain and Congress leader Mohammed Azharuddin.
During a meeting held on Wednesday, the Congress Central Election Committee (CEC) discussed candidates for various states including Goa, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, and Daman and Diu. It is believed that Sania Mirza’s name was also discussed in this meeting.
Experts suggest that Congress wants to use Sania Mirza’s popularity and fame to regain support in Hyderabad’s elections.
The last time Congress won in Hyderabad was in 1980 with K S Narayan as the MP.
Mohammed Azharuddin proposed Sania Mirza’s name for candidature, as there’s a close family connection between the two. Mohammed Asaddudin, the cricketer’s son, married Sania Mirza’s sister, Anam Mirza, in 2019.
Azharuddin competed in the recent Telangana legislative assembly elections but lost to Bharat Rashtra Samithi’s (BRS) Maganti Gopinath from the Jubilee Hills constituency by more than 16,000 votes.
For this Lok Sabha election, BJP has chosen Madhavi Latha as its candidate, and BRS has put forward Gaddam Srinivas Yadav.
The elections for the 543 parliamentary constituencies will happen in seven phases, starting on April 19 and ending on June 1.
Social media star Hareem Shah has announced that she is going to take part in UK politics. She wants to be a member of the British Parliament later on. Hareem shared that she joined a major UK political group after being asked to by one of its leaders.
“There are three big parties in the UK: Labour, Tories, and Liberal Democrats. I can’t say yet which one I joined, but I joined one of them,” she explained.
She also said that a “senior leader” from one of the parties asked her to join. “I want to run for elections and be a part of UK parliament in the future. You’ll see me there. These parties want young and famous people like me. They came to me because I’m one of the top searches on Google. I’m famous, and I’m one of the most searched people in the world.”
The TikTok star, infamous for multiple scandals, stated that is lucky to be approached to join a party. “I’ll win elections fairly. I’ll speak up for Pakistan. I’m already working for human rights.”
Hareem left Pakistan more than a year ago and hasn’t been back since. She now lives in London permanently.
The story of ‘Khaie’ by Saqlain Abbas has reached its conclusion with its 29th episode. Departing from the usual Saas Bahu and love triangle sagas, ‘Khaie’ brought a fresh flavor to television with its unique plot, outstanding acting, and excellent execution.
Zamda fulfills her promise to her mother by seeking revenge against all her enemies, with the last target being Chanaar Khan.
After the murder of Duraab Khan, Zamda’s path towards targeting Chanaar was cleared. Khan is grieving the loss of his son and now has to bury his father. Despite Chanaar’s grief, he blindly trusts Zamda, unaware of her ulterior motives. Zamda offers Chanaar intoxicated tea and convinces him to accompany her to her father and brother’s graves. However, Chanaar is shocked to find a freshly dug grave at the cemetery, realizing too late that he has been a victim of revenge all along.
People tend to think of women as weak and unintelligent. Chanar also fell prey to the trope by undermining her at first and then trusting her blindly while an educated, self-empowered woman like Zamda is an example that women are much more capable of what they seem to be.
Faysal Quraishi delivers a captivating performance as Chanaar Khan, effectively portraying his emotions, especially in the pivotal moment when he realizes Zamda’s true intentions. Zamda proceeds to fulfill her revenge by killing Chanaar and sparing his innocent son from her wrath, showing a glimpse of her humanity amidst her thirst for vengeance. The story concludes with a flash-forward showing Chanaar’s son Aizaz as a teenager, with Zamda revealing her reasons for sparing him and starting a new life in Karachi.
Overall, the ending of ‘Khaie’ is satisfying, with Zamda achieving her revenge but also facing the consequences of her actions. However, the possibility of a second season remains uncertain, as one survivor from Duraab Khan’s clan still remains.
